The 56th Kaimon Summer Festival (Fireworks Festival)

It spans about 3km east-west north-south and is followed by a row of cherry trees. A lantern is installed and the background music is played all day (10 to 21 o'clock) during the period. On Sunday, April 6, which will be the main, there will be jogging competitions, a long-time tobi, a fun draw and so on, and there will also be a flower lunch box on sale.

In early February, the Kanhi cherry blooms, and five types of cherry blossoms bloom until early April. During the period, a graceful feast such as "Kizui no Feast" is held, where the sake of sake is taken up by picking up the sake, while the sake of sake is not passed in front of the sake. In addition, at Iso Kogakukan, there is also a display of a chadan ornament that looks like Satsuma Kiriko, a traditional craft boasted by Kagoshima, as a puppet. Since the date of the event is different depending on the event, details need to be confirmed on the official website. Image courtesy of Sengwanen
